The walkthrough video for the Internet Banking Web Application design is now available to view in the Gallery. This gives you a brief (2-minute) tour of the design and points out a few of the key features.
You can download the entire project (only 86 KB) to see how the whole design was put together. The project files can be opened in GUI Design Studio or the free Viewer that can be downloaded from the Gallery.
Most of our design examples so far have focussed on Desktop applications but GUI Design Studio is also highly suited to Web Application design.
From the many requests for a Web Application sample, and the dozens of different kinds of application requested, we’ve put together an Internet Banking example.
We chose Banking because it would be familiar to most people and we also had easy access to a few real examples to crib ideas from (not that we’re lazy – we just didn’t want to spend too much time re-inventing a good design).
This new sample demonstrates:

Thanks to those that took part in this little bit of fun, both on the blog and by email.
The correct answer to the film is of course “Harvey“, made in 1950 and starring James Stewart. It’s a wonderful film that you really must see!
The odd one out in the cast list was Mary Chase who wrote the original stage play and also the screenplay for the film (with Oscar Brodney).
And the winner is… Kevin Murray with an amazingly quick answer. Ian Summers was a very close runner up being pipped at the post by just a few minutes. Well done to both of you!
We’d like to think that such fast and accurate answers came from your encyclopedic knowledge of great films and nothing at all to do with the use of Internet search engines or online film databases 
. Congratulations however you got there!
Whether you managed to answer the competition or not, I hope you managed to take a look at the Outlook-alike design example from the last post. If you just look at the video you’ll get some idea of what GUI Design Studio can do with your user interface designs.
If you download the distribution file (and Viewer) then you can also try out the application simulation, have a look at how the project was put together and maybe get some tips for your own design projects.
Following last week’s launch of GUI Design Studio version 2.2, we’ve had quite a few questions about what it’s really capable of and maybe you’ve been wondering about that yourself.
We figured the best way to answer that was by way of an example prototype design. The trouble was, we didn’t have anything big enough or suitable enough in-house and we certainly can’t share any of our customers’ designs.
So we set ourselves a challenge. What could we put together quickly as a good example? Not a simple 5-screen demo, but a fully fledged application. It needed to have real-world appeal and be the type of application that’s familiar to as many of you as possible.
The answer was staring us in the face… (more…)
